Chapter 1 Are the requirements for dating so high?

"Su Ti, we are not suitable."

The summer solstice.

The air is humid and the temperature is still hot and stuffy in the evening.

In the air-conditioned office building lobby, Suti's boyfriend, whom she had just been dating for 10 days, broke up with her.

Su Ti pulled her lips as expected and said, "Actually, you can just send a WeChat message."

It’s so hot today, so she doesn’t have to make an extra trip.

Shao Jin choked and looked a little embarrassed.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him.

The conventional bun, the slightly dull black-framed glasses, the white T-shirt and the well-worn jeans formed a sharp contrast with the glamorous and beautiful working ladies around her.

Looking at it this way, Shao Jin increasingly believed that the decision to break up was the right one.

"I asked you to come here and explain it to me out of respect. Suti, look around you and then look at yourself."

Shao Jin took a breath and prepared the next dose of strong medicine: "You are just a small clerk, you have no ambition, and you have accomplished nothing. You can't even provide the most basic emotional value. I feel very tired when I am with you."

Shao Jin's continuous barrage of attacks did not cause any damage to Su Ti.

She thought divergently, are the requirements for women so high now?
To be in a relationship, you not only need to be successful in your career, but you also need to provide emotional value?
Su Ti came to her senses and suddenly felt bored.

She said calmly, "Okay."

Then he turned and left.

Seeing that Su Ti did not bother him, Shao Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

When he turned back, he made a phone call, covering the receiver and saying, "Baby, I made it clear to her."

The other side of the lobby.

The property manager of the office building kept looking in the direction where Su Ti left.

The subordinate followed suit and looked around, "Manager, what are you looking at?"

The property manager ignored his subordinate and was extremely worried.

He seemed to see the daughter of his boss, Mr. Su.

He was dressed very low-key and ordinary, and his visit was sudden and he didn't notify us in advance. Could it be that he was visiting secretly?
……

At night, it’s Guifang.

As one of the most luxurious clubs in Pingjiang City, Languifang is owned by my best friend Xiang Qing.

The chief room on the top floor.

Xiang Qing held a cigarette between her legs and laughed out loud after listening to Su Ti's explanation. "He actually said that you have accomplished nothing?"

Su Ti looked lazy and said, "That's not wrong."

"Come on." Xiang Qing glared at Su Ti, "It's obvious that the Shao guy is unreliable and is obviously trying to PUA you."

Xiang Qing was a witness when Su Ti and Shao Jin started dating.

If Shao Jin, who is ambitious as hell, knew Su Ti's true identity, I wonder if he could still say those ridiculous words.

Xiang Qing opened two bottles of beer and was about to say something to comfort Su Ti, but when he turned his head, his eyes froze.

Under the warm-toned light strip——

Suti took off her black-framed glasses, untied the hair tie of her bun, and leaned lazily against the sofa.

In the interweaving of light and shadow, the flowing long hair further highlights the girl's rich facial features, giving her a sense of atmosphere, like a Hong Kong-style beauty who walked out of an old movie from the last century.

With this look, even a woman like her would be moved. How could the man named Shao be willing to break up with him? !
I'm afraid it's not a serious illness.

Xiang Qing collected her thoughts and asked Su Ti, "How far have you and Shao progressed?"

"Nothing happened." Su Ti pouted, and put her index and middle fingers together. "We dated for 10 days, and he was away on business for 5 days. We met twice and had a meal together. After the meal, he was hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis."

To exaggerate a little, during these ten days, she didn't even realize that she and Shao Jin were dating.

Xiang Qing: “…”

It's so unlucky. I don't know who is the nemesis of the other between these two.

Xiang Qing looked at Su Ti sympathetically, "What are your plans next?"

Su Timi was silent for two seconds: "Find the next home."

Her life was set on a predetermined trajectory from the moment she was born.

The current self-letting go is just a temporary deviation.

Su Ti always wondered how magical love was that could make her sister give up all her wealth and run away. Therefore, Su Ti, who had been alone for 24 years, wanted to fall in love for the first time.

"Still looking?" Xiang Qing asked tentatively, "You don't plan to consider that person?"

Su Ti looked puzzled: "Who?"

Obviously, the two people's thinking is not on the same channel.

Xiang Qing moved the corners of her mouth and recommended in a roundabout way: "There are many young talents in our circle, such as..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Ti said disdainfully: "An acquaintance, no feeling."

Xiang Qing: “…” I understand.

It seems that it is difficult to target acquaintances who know each other well.

As they were talking, the phone on the table rang.

The caller ID number shows that it belongs to the Hong Kong area.

Su Ti answered the call. She didn't know what the other party said. She pressed her forehead, her eyes slightly brightened: "Okay, let Uncle Chen pick me up tomorrow."

……

The next day, the weekend.

After noon, a Bentley with dual Chinese and Hong Kong license plates sped towards the border crossing.

The driver looked in the rearview mirror and said, "Ms. Su, the second young master asked me to take you directly to Tsim Sha Tsui."

Su Ti looked up from her phone, "Okay, please help Uncle Chen."

Uncle Chen smiled, then stopped talking and concentrated on driving.

We arrived at our destination at 3pm.

As soon as Su Ti got out of the car, she saw a man in a blue suit and a floral shirt leaning against a sports car smoking.

Jiang Chen, the second son of the Jiang family in Hong Kong.

His mother is Suti's aunt.

The two families are in-laws who have been in frequent contact in recent years.

Jiang Chen was holding a cigarette and looking at his phone.

Seeing Suti, he joked in broken Cantonese: "I heard that your dating failed?"

Su Ti: “…” This must be Xiang Qing’s credit again.

Jiang Chen thought he had touched upon Su Ti's sorrow, and quickly changed his words: "It's okay, the next one will be better. Tonight's cocktail party will be presided over by the gold medal bartender Alan. You can drink as much as you want, and you won't leave until you are drunk."

Friends around her all know that Suti loves to drink and has a very good alcohol tolerance. She especially likes Hong Kong Island's molecular cocktails.

Jiang Chen happened to need Su Ti's help with something, so he invited her to Hong Kong to please her.

At this time, Suti's expression eased a little, "Thank you for your good words."

Jiang Chen was confused: "What's the sentence?"

Suti smiled, "The next one will be better."

……

The setting sun dyes the sea level into a gorgeous golden color.

A small luxury cruise ship moored at Tsim Sha Tsui Pier.

There is a private wine tasting on the cruise ship tonight.

Among those invited to attend were many Hong Kong celebrities, entrepreneurs, foreign company executives and other successful people from all walks of life.

After six o'clock, the lounge was already crowded with celebrities and people.

The drinking and socializing in the world of fame and fortune may seem like a happy occasion, but it is actually hypocritical and boring.

Suti came here not for socializing, but just for wine tasting.

While Jiang Chen was socializing, she bypassed the lounge area and went straight to the wine tasting room next door.

At the same time, inside the originally noisy and lively cocktail party, as a piece of news came out, celebrities from all walks of life were looking forward to it and were excited.

The crew below reported that the heavyweights invited to the cocktail party had already boarded the ship.

The cruise ship is about to leave the port.

　Long time no see, how are you?
